Title: Foster youth.
Author: Isaac Bryan

Summary
AB 2664, as introduced, Bryan. Foster youth. Existing law requires a child to be deemed to have entered foster care on the earlier of the date of a jurisdictional hearing or the date 60 days following when the child was initially removed from the physical custody of their parent or guardian.This bill would require that, when a child is returned to the home of the parent or guardian at a dispositional hearing, as provided, and then subsequently removed through a subsequent petition, the child be deemed to have entered foster care on the earlier of the jurisdictional hearing held as a result of the subsequent petition or the date that is 60 days after the child was initially removed from the physical custody of their parent or guardian via the subsequent petition. By allowing additional reunification services and increasing the duties on county social workers, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
